"Stop that sh*t," Bills QB Josh Allen slams Damar Hamlin's body double conspiracy theorists during Bengals defeat
Josh Allen ended once and for all speculations regarding Damar Hamlin using a body double to denote his presence in the stadium on Sunday Night.
by Somdeb Khaskel
in Buffalo Bills, NFL
The NFL escaped a huge scare recently, as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the gridiron. The horrifying incident took place during the Week-17 game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Damar Hamlin was rushed to the hospital following the injury, and eventually made a speedy recovery. The 24-year-old has since then spoken to his teammates, supporting them during their crucial playoff games.
Hamlin was in attendance on Sunday Night during the Bills' NFL divisional round playoff against the Bengals, but failed to inspire his teammates. The Bills suffered a 10-27 defeat as their hopes for a Super Bowl season came to an end.
Hamlin visited the Bills locker room and was also captured waving to the cameras during the defeat, in what was his first-ever public appearance since the cardiac arrest incident on January 2nd. However, fans were not willing to believe Hamlin's presence at the Highmark Stadium.
Fans floated various theories as to why Hamlin did not show his face, which was covered by sunglasses and a covering due to the low temperatures. Social media users hilariously claimed that Damar Hamlin was not physically present at the stadium, and it was, in fact, a body double that was used to fool the crowd.

Josh Allen backed up Damar Hamlin's physical presence on the field
Such outrageous claims reached Damar Hamlin's ears, and he was quick to denounce these theories. He has found able support from quarterback Josh Allen, who spoke about these theories on his latest appearance on the Kyle Brandt's Basement podcast.
He called such claims stupid, claiming that Damar Hamlin had visited the players in the locker room. Allen also urged people to stop spreading such fake news.
"That's stupid," Allen said. "One, that's Damar's swag and he likes wearing that. Two, he was in the locker room with us pre-game. So yes, that was Damar."
"There is absolutely zero chance. That's the Damar Hamlin, that's our guy, that's our brother. He was with us pre-game, and post-game. He was up in the suite with his family and his little brother, 100 per cent. So people need to stop that s***."

AB&I Foundry Joins Illegal Dumping Pilot Program in Oakland, California
AB&I Foundry, part of the Oakland Industrial Alliance (OIA), has teamed up with County Supervisor Nate Miley on his Pilot Program based on an emerging best practices to address illegal dumping that is plaguing the community. This multi-faceted approach aims to clean up existing waste and prevent future illegal dumping practices.
Through the pilot program, local businesses, non-profits, and community groups have partnered to contribute to the movement. AB&I Foundry and Argent Materials are both allocating staff hours and equipment to clean up the area. The Beautification Council and Men of Valor are providing on-the-ground support. Supervisor Miley is working with a team of his staff and local high school interns to educate the neighborhood on strategies to combat illegal dumping.
"This illegal dumping remediation program is important to the local community. By working as a team with local businesses, residents, and community leadership, we are collectively finding ways to combat the disheartening behavior of illegal dumping while improving the community where people live and work," said Michael Lowe, the general manager of AB&I Foundry.
In July, Supervisor Miley hosted a community celebration to highlight the progress of his illegal dumping pilot program where neighbors were invited to learn more about the program for East Oakland. The supervisor's pilot program aims to end illegal dumping through street cleanups, community outreach, and new partnerships between the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, and Oakland City Council Members Larry Reid and Rebecca Kaplan.
"I am so proud to be part of this community and forging the partnerships needed to take action and improve our surroundings here in East Oakland," said Zeydi Gutierrez, director of community relations at AB&I Foundry. "We've been part of the fabric of this community for over a century and have witnessed the increase in illegal dumping, so we've decided make a difference."
Oakland says it has at least 100 illegal dumping hotspots. This is a plague to the community that needs to be addressed with rigorous enforcement for violators.

(Camp Hill) – Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB) praised members of the state General Assembly and Governor Wolf for supporting a state budget and a bipartisan "Pennsylvania Farm Bill" legislative package that should help farmers better cope with challenges threatening their livelihoods, while creating new opportunities for a brighter future in agriculture.
"The legislative package addresses some priority issues that Farm Bureau has been advocating for over the past few years," said PFB President Rick Ebert. "It offers new approaches to overcoming hurdles and creates opportunities for farmers and the agriculture industry to prosper."
One of the key bills pushed by Senator Elder Vogel is designed to help young farmers gain access to farmland by providing a tax credit to landowners, who rent or sell their land to beginning farmers.
"The lack of affordable farmland to rent or buy is often listed as the number one reason why young people do not pursue careers in farming. We are hopeful that this new tax credit program will create more opportunities for Pennsylvania agriculture and inspire the next generation of farmers in the state," added Ebert.
Meanwhile, a visit to a Legislative Farm Tour hosted by the Cambria County Farm Bureau was the inspiration for legislation spearheaded by Senator Wayne Langerholc. The bill changes the state vehicle code to allow farm equipment of up to 18 feet in width to travel on roadways under certain safety conditions.
Other bills included in the legislative package (which the Governor is expected to sign into law) will provide additional conservation funding through grants and low interest loans, assistance in writing business and succession plans, an increase in funding to address agriculture threats, such the spotted lanternfly, and the creation of a new dairy commission to study current trends in Pennsylvania's dairy industry. The commission has several goals, such as identifying ways to help create more opportunities for struggling dairy farmers to become profitable and to bolster the sales of Pennsylvania milk and dairy products.
Meanwhile, the state agriculture budget includes increases in funding for several vital programs, including agriculture research and Cooperative Extension programs administered by Penn State, the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and agriculture excellence programs. Farm Bureau also appreciates new funding for Agriculture Department programs, such as $4.5 million for the Agricultural Business and Workforce Investment program, an additional $2 million for the Animal Health and Diagnostic Commission and $1 million for the Livestock and Consumer Health Protection program.
In addition, an exemption from sales tax for materials and supplies purchased for the construction or repair of an animal housing facility is included in a Tax Code bill accompanying the state budget. Several beneficial changes to the REAP program are also a part of the tax bill, including express recognition that costs for activities in completing conservation plans and manure management plans are eligible for REAP tax credits and an increase in the yearly maximum level of REAP credits from $10 million to $13 million, with the State Conservation Commission having the authority to target $3 million in tax credits for best management practices in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
"We believe the heavy focus on agriculture this year is a recognition by the General Assembly and the Governor that a prosperous farming community is essential to the economic health of rural communities and the state's economy. The new programs and increased funding for other programs come at a time when many farmers have struggled to stay in business after five consecutive years of depressed prices," concluded Ebert.

New Office Building Coming To Broward & Fed
Written by ADMIN on June 10, 2014 in News - No comments
Currently under construction just north of the intersection of Broward Boulevard and Federal Highway, office building 105 North Federal is planning to open this winter.
Adache Group Architects designed the 36,216-square-foot contemporary building with large angled glass features. Wood and metal paneling covers the exterior bringing different textures along with the glass. The prominent geometrical lines provide a new visual element that's not seen around the gradually urbanizing area, where things are decidedly more… subdued.
105 North Federal takes residence on the south side of the up-and-coming Flagler Village, Lauderdale's hip and pedestrian-centric enclave, and it is just a block from the massive 721-unit new rental property, Henry Square, which is scheduled to open this summer.

It was crossing over the double yellow lines that ultimately led to a terrible accident. When passing another vehicle he ended up directly in the path of an approaching car. The car wasn't able to dodge the SUV and the two vehicles collided head-on.
Traffic laws are there for a reason. They are there to keep order and there to save lives. As auto accident lawyers in Nashville, we know that not everyone follows these laws, and the consequences can be devastating. Take double yellow lines for example. These are no passing zones, because it's been proven that passing there could lead to a serious accident.
In the violent collision, the passenger of the car was killed. The driver was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. There were also four children in the car at the time of the wreck, and all four were seriously injured despite being properly restrained.
The driver of the SUV didn't escape injury either. He suffered from his own serious injuries and was also taken to Vanderbilt for treatment. Apparently there was evidence of alcohol in the SUV driver's vehicle so his blood has been tested for intoxication. Charges are still pending, but hopefully this family will have a full recovery and will get the justice they deserve.
Negligence changes and takes lives far too often in Middle Tennessee. The Nashville auto accident attorneys at Mitch Grissim & Associates are here to fight for those people that have been injured by reckless and careless drivers.
You could be entitled to financial compensation, but you won't know until you get a FREE review of your auto accident claim.

Passio Artemii è un'opera di Giovanni il monaco che descrive in maniera romanzata la vita e il martirio di sant'Artemio, un cristiano che sarebbe stato perseguitato dall'imperatore pagano Giuliano nel 361-363. L'autore è stato identificato Giovanni di Rodi o con Giovanni Damasceno. L'opera fu composta prima del X secolo.

La Passio, invece, descrive in maniera romanzata la vita di sant'Antemio, che sarebbe stato messo a morte perché cristiano. Il vero Artemio è una figura storica, un funzionario imperiale romano, processato e messo a morte sotto Giuliano; ricopriva l'incarico di Dux Aegypti, e fu accusato di aver fatto uso della forza contro la popolazione di Alessandria d'Egitto che protestava per la chiusura del tempio pagano del Serapeo. Nella Passio non si fa cenno all'episodio: Artemio sarebbe stato martirizzato perché aveva parlato in difesa di due cristiani. L'autore ignora anche il sostegno dato dall'Artemio storico all'Arianesimo.

L'importanza dell'opera risiede nel fatto che si tratta di una testimonianza rilevante della vita politica e religiosa del IV secolo. L'autore della Passio utilizzò infatti per la sua compilazione la Storia ecclesiastica di Filostorgio, da cui prese in prestito interi brani, e che si è conservata solo attraverso alcuni frammenti.

Hardwipe Commander is the command line utility that ships with the Hardwipe Data Sanitization Security Toolset. It combines the Hardwipe data sanitization engine with the total control and flexibility afforded by a rich command line interface.
A primary application of Hardwipe Commander is the automation of remnant data sanitization in sensitive business environments. For example, it makes it easy to schedule file wiping tasks to erase old backup files in the user's work area, or to hard wipe the recycler whenever the user logs out.
Hardwipe Commander ships with the both the Desktop and Portable Editions of the software. However, it is an advanced feature offering, and you need to purchase a Professional Level Upgrade to use it fully.
You can try out Hardwipe Commander for free. It is functional, but non-wiping until you upgrade.
It can be found under the Hardwipe installation directory, and the installer will offer the option to add this to the environment PATH variable so that the "hwipe" command is available at the console terminal. Alternatively, you can add the location to the PATH variable yourself, or elect to supply the full executable path in scripts or the Task Scheduler.
This command line interface supports the English language only.
Hardwipe supports input using either Windows or Linux style form. Command line inputs can include simple switches or parameters with a value. Options may also be expressed in short or long form.
If you prefer Linux style syntax, long-form arguments should begin with a double hyphen ("--"), whereas the short-forms should use a single hyphen only. In Windows style, all arguments should be prefixed with "/". It is important to note that, in either style, long form arguments such as "abort-on-error" are case insensitive, however, the short form equivalents are case sensitive. For example, the inputs "/s" and "/S" have different meanings.
Notice also the use of the colon ":" and equals "=" separators with the "wipe" command parameter in the example above. Where an argument is followed by a value, either a colon or equals character must be used to separate the name from the value.
Hardwipe Commander provides a rich, yet simple, interface to the Hardwipe data sanitization engine which lends itself to automation from the Windows Task Scheduler.
The Task Scheduler provides an easy to use and flexible way to automate tasks at periodic intervals or on certain events, such as when the user logs in, or whenever the computer becomes idle. The Schedule Tasks command can be found under "Administrator Tools" on Windows Control Panel.
Typically, the Task Scheduler should be used to call the "hwipe" command, with a supplied wipe task parameter and a switch to skip user confirmation.
The simulation switch runs a wipe task in non-deleting "test mode". You should use it in conjunction with the output option to safely test any auto-executing sanitization task before allowing it to execute for real from the scheduler.
By default, the wipe task will require user confirmation before starting (see right).
One or more file paths can be specified, including files and/or entire directories. In the following example, two files will be removed under the "Temp" directory. Note that paths containing spaces should be surrounded in quotes, as shown in the second path.
hwipe /wipe:file C:\Temp\file.bk "C:\Temp\Business Proposal.doc"
In the above, all other files under "Temp" will be left untouched. The following command, however, will destroy all files under the "Temp" directory, including all directory sub-trees, and will remove the "Temp" directory itself on completion. Note that, here, we are using the short form of the wipe command ("/w").
The wildcard characters '*' and '?' may be used in the last element of the pathname, and the following differs subtly from the example above in that it will hard wipe all items in the directory, including sub-trees, but will leave the empty "Temp" directory behind.
The example below is more sophisticated and demonstrates the use of additional parameters.
In this, the sanitization scheme ("/s") GOST R 50739-95 is specified along with a last pass verification ("/y"). The wildcard path and the modification time ("/m") parameter will restrict wiping to files with the extension ".bak" directly under the "Temp" directory that are older than (i.e. unmodified for) 7 days. All other paths will be left untouched.
Note that files under sub-directories of "Temp" will not be removed even if they end with the "*.bak" extension. For example, the file "C:\Temp\data\file.bak" will be excluded because its "data" directory does not match the wildcard pattern. If, however, a directory name were to match the pattern, then all its contents will be wiped and the directory itself removed.
This will hard wipe the volumes "I:" and "J:". You can use the vol-list command to display volume information. Note that this command will not allow you to wipe the volume hosting the OS (normally on "C:").
You can use the dev-list command to display device information. Note that this command will not allow you to wipe the device hosting the OS volume.
This will overwrite free storage space in order to destroy remnant data that is no longer accessible at the file system level, but still physically resides on the device. It does not delete existing file data.
If the empty-recycler option is specified with this task, the recycler (if any) on the specified drive volume will be emptied prior to cleaning.
If called with administrator privileges, the files sent for recycling by all users will be destroyed. Otherwise, only the recycler contents beloning to the current user will be affected.
The volume path can be omitted with this task, in which case the recyclers contents on all connected drives will be wiped.
List physical storage devices attached to the computer.
List drive volumes on the computer.
Input your license registration key to activate the software. This command will activate both command line utility and GUI applications, provided the key pertains to a Professional Level Upgrade. If your installation ships with the GUI, you may alternativaly use the GUI to input the key, although the command line may be preferrable in certain scenarios.
There will be no feedback as to whether the license key was accepted or not, however, you can use the version command to confirm the registration status.
The key must be contained on a single input line, as shown above (the key shown is an example only). This feature was introduced in version 5.1.4.
Abort the wiping task on the first error encountered.
This switch can be specified with any wiping task, although it is, perhaps, mainly applicable when wiping files.
This will hard wipe all files under the "Temp" directory. Assume that the first file encountered cannot be removed because it is locked by some other process. Normally, Hardwipe will log the error and move on to the next file. However, if this switch is specified, the task will be aborted at this point.
Write BOM when logging to output file. See the output option.
Empty recycler when cleaning free drive space.
This will call the Windows shell to empty the recycler on C: prior to overwriting its free space.
Wait for key press before exiting.
This switch can be specified with any command, and if used, the process will wait for the user to press a key before it exists, thus allowing the user an opportunity to review the output log before the console window is closed.
Leave empty directories behind when wiping files. This option can be specified when wiping file paths.
Here, all files under the "Temp" directory will be hard wiped, including all files under any sub-directories. However, the empty sub-tree structure will be left behind, including the root "Temp" directory itself.
Restricts file wiping to items that are older than (i.e. unmodified since) the date-time specified. Typically, this options is useful when hard wiping files that match a given wildcard pattern, but can also be used when wiping the recycler.
The date-time can be specified as either as a time period relative to the current clock time, as shown above, or as an absolute date-time in ISO 8601 format.
Where "n" is an integer value. Do not put a space between the integer value and the period specifier (although a hyphen can be used), as this will confuse the command interpreter (i.e. use "/m:7days" or "/m:7-days", but not "/m:7 days"). It is not possible to mix period types — the input "/m:7days3hrs" is invalid.
The time part and the use of '-' and ':' separators is optional. Additionally, the year-day form "yyyy-ddd" may be used instead, where ddd is the day number in the range 1 to 366. The character "T" must be used to separate the date-time parts if the time is present.
Times are local times unless the UTC designation "Z" is given, as shown in the last example above. Input using weeks, weekdays or repeating intervals is not supported.
Specify where to write logging information. Log files are generated when performing a wiping operation (i.e. using the "wipe" command).
Portable variants of Hardwipe Commander will, by default, write log files to its local "hw-log" directory. The log files will reflect the username and time. Desktop editions of the command line utility, however, have no default local log directory and will, by default, not log wiping operations unless configured*.
You can use this option to set or change the logging location for a wiping operation. Use it to specify either a directory, or a fully qualified log filename. If the input is an existing directory, Hardwipe will append its own filename to the path. If, however, the input does not exist as a directoy, Hardwipe will assume that it pertains to a fully qualified filename.
Here, output will be written to a UTF-8 text file under the "Log" directory. Output is not re-directed, rather the file is copy of what is written to the console. This is useful when automating data sanitization from the Windows Task Scheduler, as it will log events and errors.
You will note the presence of the placeholder variable "%DATETIME%" in the above example. This will be replaced with the current date-time value from system clock in ISO 8601 form, without separators, i.e. "YYYYMMDDThhmmss".
%DATETIME% : local date-time, i.e. "20140814T143523"
%DATETIMEZ% : UTC date-time, i.e. "20140814T133523Z"
%DATE% : local date, i.e. "20140814"
%TIME% : local time, i.e. "143523"
%TIMEZ% : UTC time, i.e. "133523Z"
%YYYY% : local 4 digit year, i.e. "2014"
Placeholders variables are case sensitive.
Use "NONE" to disable file logging on the operation. For example: "hwipe /o:NONE ...".
*For the Desktop Edition, the default log directory output can be set from the GUI settings window. If a directory is configured here, the command line utility will use it also as its default logging output location.
See also the "bom" option for use with generating output. Note that the behaviour of this command was updated in version 5.1.4.
The number of times a file or directory is randomly re-named prior to removal from the file system. This option can be specified with any wiping task.
Values between 0 and 26 are accepted. The default value is 3.
Sanitization scheme. This option can be specified with any wiping task.
The default value is "ran" (Random Data).
Skip final confirmation when wiping (use with care).
When using the wipe command, final user confirmation will normally be requested before any action is taken. Specifying this option, however, will omit the interactive confirmation and wiping will commence immediately. This is useful when automating data sanitization from the Windows Task Scheduler, but should be used with care. It is recommended that automated sanitization commands be tested first using the simulation option.
See also the silent option.
Do not write to stdout.
The presence of this switch will also cause the console window to be closed at the earliest possible instance. This is useful when automating data sanitization from the Windows Task Scheduler, as it will suppress the console window, although it may not always be possible to prevent the window appearing briefly.
This switch can be specified with any command, although if used with the wiping task, it must be used in conjunction with skip-confirm, otherwise it will be ignored.
This speed setting allows the disk writing speed to be reduced. Lowering the write speed on lengthy tasks may improve the computer's responsivity if it is being used for other important tasks. This option value can be specified with any wiping task.
Additionally, any integer percentage value may be specified in the range 1 to 100, where 100 is the maximum. The writing speed adapts to the capability of the device, and it cannot be assumed that the scale is linear, but only that lower values relate to a lower writing speed.
The maximum allowable number of verification errors (or write failures), expressed as a percentage value, before the task is terminated and flagged as failed.
This option can be specified with any wiping task. For example, a value of 0.5% for an entire drive overwrite will mean that errors up to 0.5% of the drive's total size will be tolerated before the job is aborted. For file wiping, it applies to files individually.
The default value is 1.0%.
Setting this value to zero will cause the task to terminate on the first write or verification failure. Note that any I/O error will be flagged as a warning in the log irrespective of this setting, so it is not necessary to set it to zero to be sure of detecting errors.
This switch can be specified with any wiping task, and prevents real data from being removed. In effect, a test simulation of the task is performed where file items and drives are analyzed and an output log generated, but no actual data will be destroyed. This is useful in automating data sanitization because it allows input sequences to be safely tested prior to letting them run without supervision.
In some cases, data sizes written to the output will be fictitious (hard-coded) rather than real, and using this switch with a drive overwrite test will result in the simulated task completing near instantly, whereas in reality the process may take sometime to perform. This behaviour is normal.
Verbose output. This switch can be specified with any wiping task. When used, full length file paths are always listed in the process output.
When verification is used, a read-back pass is performed as part of the wipe process and verifies the values written by the previous overwrite. Any verification errors will be reported in the output. Additionally, the tolerence option can be used to specify at what point the process will be aborted if verification errors are detected.
Write username to output. This switch can be specified with any wiping task.
This option has been deprecated since version 5.1.4, and will be ignored. The platform and username are now always written in the log.


Hello! It's Jenny from Honey and Birch again. It doesn't matter whether we're having a hot day or a cool one – my brain can only think about cool treats and desserts lately. I bought a popsicle mold recently so today I am sharing a recipe for Strawberry Basil Moscato Popsicles. I didn't realize how easy popsicles were to make. Now, I just can't stop making pops!
This easy recipe uses some of my favorite summer ingredients – strawberries and basil! Also, there is a little bit of moscato in it too – what a perfect way to use up leftover wine from a girl's night!
Start making these popsicles by pureeing the strawberries and basil in a food processor. This is the most important part so pay close attention. You can control the consistency of the popsicle during this process – if you want little strawberry chunks then puree for a little less time.
When you are almost done pureeing, add the moscato. Also, if you want a sweeter popsicle, now is the time to add wine or honey. Everything is going to get a little foamy – this is okay. When you have reached the consistency you want, stop your food processor.
It's time to pour everything into your popsicle mold. Be careful not to overfill – you need to leave room for the sticks! Pop the sticks into the liquid and then place the mold in your freezer for a few hours.
When the liquid has frozen, your Strawberry Basil Moscato Popsicles are ready to be enjoyed!
Puree the strawberries and basil leaves in a food processor for 5 minutes on medium-high. Add the Moscato and honey. Puree for an additional 1-2 minutes on medium.
Divide the mixture among the popsicle mold. Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until the popsicles are firm.
This recipe makes 10 popsicles in the Norpro popsicle mold.
Oh yum! We're definitely going to have to make these before the summer is over!
Tried these last night!! They were so good!!! I'm going to try mint next time, although the basil was so good. I'm also going to try Lambrusco too!! Thanks for a great recipe!!

Read Reviews via Curled Up With A Good Book, RPGnet + SF Site
INTRODUCTION: Matthew Stover's novel "Heroes Die" has been mentioned a long time in various SFF forums and blogs, but its subject never really tempted me to check it out. However when Robert told me about the book, I was intrigued enough to take a look at it. Once I read the first page, I "knew" that I had to read "Heroes Die" immediately and that it had the potential to make me a Stover fan for life—at least regarding his original novels. (NOTE: Matthew Stover is best known for his Star Wars novels, including the novelization of "Revenge of the Sith".)
SETTING: Sometime in the near future, Earth is a mess. Overpopulated, divided into rigid castes and policed by the sinister Social Order Police, the billions of people on the planet have one escape: fantasy. By this, I mean real magic, dragons, elves, trolls, et cetera on Overworld, a magical analogue of Earth accessible through some esoteric technology. Of course there is a catch—not everyone gets to go there, only "actors" who are trained entertainers in various fighting techniques or application of Overworld magic and are equipped with "thoughtmitters" that allow firsthand live access to their experiences on Overworld in expensive simulation chairs for the rich, and secondhand access for the masses in "experience cubes".
And the most famous of these actors is Hari Michaelson, better known as Caine…
FORMAT/INFO: The trade paperback edition I have stands at 563 pages, divided into seven 'Days', each subdivided into small numbered sections, and a Prologue/Epilogue. The narration alternates between the consciousnesses of several actors on Overworld, and third person present tense action from multiple POVs on both Earth and Overworld. There is little info-dumping or background to the story, but the second book in the series, "Blade of Tyshalle", more than makes up for this. "Heroes Die" is a mixture of dystopian SF and epic adventure fantasy, neither particularly original, but the mixture works brilliantly due to the larger-than-life characters and the violently energetic action.
"Heroes Die" was originally published as a Trade Paperback on July 21, 1998 via Del Rey Books, followed by the Mass Market Paperback edition on May 29, 1999. Cover art is provided by Doug Beekman.
PLOT HINTS AND ANALYSIS: "Heroes Die" starts in high octane mode when Caine, ostensibly an Overworld monastic assassin, drops by the Regent of the most powerful Human Empire, Ankhana, because the prince did not keep his promises to the powerful Monastic order dedicated to human supremacy on Overworld. Of course the Regent needs killing because he's been too successful in balancing the Ankhanan factions, and horror of horrors, there may actually be peace brought to the Empire. Even worse, the majority of humans may be able to unite long enough to get rid of the predatory trolls and dragons. Imagine what that would do to the ratings on Earth! However the hit goes awry and Caine has to fight his way out of the palace, killing indiscriminately which disgusts him. Caine should have died there, but somehow he manages to escape and crawls to a hideaway deathly wounded. From here, the powers-to-be authorize an emergency transfer to Earth and save Caine's life. After all, death in action is a big ratings generator, but an obscure ignominious death in an alley... Better save Caine for another adventure!
"A Servant of Empire", as the adventure was named, became extraordinarily popular on Earth due to the extreme violence of Caine's escape, but it soured Hari on the role. Rich and famous, of professional caste by virtue of being an actor, and with a powerful businessman as a patron, Hari could and does refuse any more Overworld trips as Caine.
Several years later though, Ankhana is at peace again. The unexpectedly bloody and huge rating generators succession wars produced a God Emperor in Ma'elKoth who came from absolutely nowhere to impose both strong rule and a human supremacist religion on Overworld. Bad for ratings. So the Studios sent a bunch of machine gun-armed assassins into the palace—no subtlety when core profits are threatened—but they never came out and since then no actor can broadcast from inside. Not only that, but Ma'elKoth uses the threat of alien "Aktirs" to both hunt down actors and scapegoat his native opposition as such. To make matters worse, the one effective opponent that Ma'elKoth has operates under the pseudonym Simon Jester and only saves people wrongly accused as being aktirs—which only generates middling ratings…
But Simon Jester is actually Shanna/Palls Ril, the estranged actress wife of Hari, lover of Caine, and relatively minor sorceress on Overworld, who plays her role so effectively because of a powerful forgetting spell. And Shanna has a very powerful leisure caste protectress so she is not directly vulnerable to pressure.
So in what he believes to be his master plan, the villainous studio head—administrator Kollberg who built his career on Caine's success—prepares to hook Hari on a final adventure, "For Love of Pallas Ril" where Caine gets to try and save Pallas' life. Mysteriously betrayed and with the threat of a horrible death on the horizon, Pallas is in need of a fast rescue. So Caine is allowed to go in but has to sign a secret, binding contract to assassinate Ma'elKoth or die trying. Not only that, but Caine must also somehow lure the Emperor away from the palace to broadcast the assassination attempt live. Whatever happens—Caine dying heroically, Caine saving Pallas, Caine killing the Emperor or his super powerful henchman Count Berne—the ratings are expected to be huge and is a win-win situation for Kollberg. Of course you have to read the novel to find out what actually happens :)
Hari/Caine and Ma'elKoth steal the show in "Heroes Die" and their interactions are superbly drawn. Then there's the anger of Caine and Berne, the presence of Ma'elKoth, and the full cast of fleshed out secondary characters which transform the novel from a clichéd run-of-the-mill science fiction/fantasy hybrid into a masterpiece of the genre. Plus, with a quite unexpected ending that ties up pretty much all loose ends, "Heroes Die" is a novel that you won't regret reading and will leave you salivating for the next installment in the series, "Blade of Tyshalle"…

why dos you write such excellent reviews? You are guilty :-)
One more book which I must add to my to-read list.

Thank you for the comment. This one though is due to Robert since he pointed me towards it - I heard about Caine a while ago but the subject never interested me until I opened the book. Then I could not put it down and book 3 Caine Black Knife is my #1 fantasy of 2008

Tesla Model 3: Four-Year Total Cost Of Ownership
You might be surprised at what it really costs to own a Model 3 over the longer term.
Jul 10, 2022 at 1:32pm ET
By: Steven Loveday
If you're considering investing in an electric car like the Tesla Model 3, you should probably figure out how much it's going to cost you. Figuring out its out-the-door price is the easy part, but it's obviously not the whole story.
To figure out how much a car is really going to cost you, you have to analyze its total cost of ownership, which include fuel costs, maintenance, and more. Most people don't take all the related costs into account. This can lead them to believe that most EVs are simply too expensive to fit into their budget. However, that may not be the case.
As we've reported on numerous occasions, electric cars, trucks, and SUVs are more expensive than their gas-powered cousins. To be clear, this means you'll pay more for an EV upfront than you will for a comparable gas vehicle. However, over the long term, most EVs will save you a significant amount of money, and you'll realize these savings as they impact your budget on a month-to-month basis.
Tesla Model 3 owner MTN Ranger recently put together a video highlighting four years of ownership (see below). However, he didn't include a total cost of ownership analysis in the full four-year update video. Instead, he made a separate, much shorter video (above) sharing the costs.
MTN Ranger has kept track of his Model 3 ownership costs, including the EV's financing (monthly car payment), which covers the Tesla's total price with incentives, taxes, and fees. He also provides details about the cost of insurance, repairs, and maintenance. However, arguably the most important piece of the pie is the cost of electricity versus gas. Finally, depreciation is a biggie since the Model 3 holds its value better than most new cars.
The video is broken down into multiple topics, which you can navigate through using the timestamps below. Adding up everything he's spent on the Model 3 to date has cost him just $18,134.10 over four years and about 48,000 miles.

It's usually not until mid-December that we have a reliable amount of snow on the trails near Seattle. But when we do, the mountains outside of Seattle turn into a beautiful winter wonderland.
Most of the popular summer trails can also be hiked in the winter with your dog by merely strapping on a set of snowshoes (you, not your dog of course. Ha, ha.).
Here are 4 spectacular dog friendly snowshoeing trails in Washington State for beginners or those looking for an easy jaunt.
Both of these snowshoe trails are less than 1 hour from Seattle. They're located along the Interstate 90 (I-90) corridor.
Because of their ease and proximity to Seattle, they can be VERY crowded.
The good news is that beginners will have company along the trail. The bad news is that parking can be difficult and you're unlikely to experience a lot of peace and silence.
These trails are amazing though and offer a lot of bang for your buck – relatively easy to get to with one of the greatest rewards in the state at the end.
If you want to avoid the largest crowds, I suggest going weekdays or early mornings (the parking lots often fill up by 9 am).
Gold creek pond is a naturally-restored gravel pit that was created in the 1970s and early 1980s when I-90 was being built.
I know that sounds like it could be boring but it's really quite beautiful there. You can barely tell that it's not a natural pond.
Looking north, on a clear day, you can see Chikamin Peak in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
This one is one of the easiest snowshoe trails on the list.
It's about an hour east of Seattle and parking is right off the freeway. Once you park in the Gold Creek Sno-Park, you'll hike down the road and tirn north onto a side road.
It's about 1/3 mile to the real trailhead. From there, it's a gently-rolling, 1-mile jaunt around the lake. If you just do the road to the pond and loop, the trip will be about 2 miles.
If you're feeling good and looking to go further, hike up one of the trails back into the forest on the east side of the lake, accessed via a small trail that branches off the Gold Creek Pond loop. You'll meet up with a snow-covered road and it can extend your trip by at least a mile before narrows into a tight, avalanche prone valley.
Head east on I-90 out of Seattle to Exit 54, 2 miles east of the Snoqualmie Pass summit. Exit I-90, turn north (left if coming from Seattle), crossing under the freeway. A few hundred feet north of the highway interchange, is Forest Road 4832. The whole road is considered the Gold Creek Sno-Park in winter. Find a place to park here, walk east to Forest Road 142 (not plowed in winter), turn north, and walk about 1/3 mile to the Gold Creek Pond parking lot. The trail for the lake loop starts from the northwest corner of the parking lot (back and to the right). Forest Road 4832 is narrow and often icy so, unless you have all wheel or 4-wheel drive and can pull off far enough to let a car pass, it's best to park closer to the freeway exit and walk the short distance down the road.
A Sno-Park pass is required for parking. See below for details.
This trail ends at a 70/foot waterfall nestled near one of the elevated portions of I-90. You'll barely see the freeway though because you will be too focused on the spectacular waterfall itself.
And the noise? The waterfall is so loud, you barely notice that either.
Water dripping off the rocks surrounding the waterfall freezes in winter and makes the area look even more impressive.
In the winter, you have to park right off the freeway exit and walk up the Denny Creek Road to the Franklin Falls trailhead.
Except for the very short, steep section down to the falls, and the couple really brief uphill sections on the trail, this hike is mostly flat.
Do be aware of the distance though. In the winter when Denny Creek Road is closed, the total trip distance is close to 7 miles (wheras the Franklin Falls hike is only about 2 miles in summer).
Although the mostly flat grade makes this trail easy, the distance can make it more challenging for people and dogs that aren't used to hiking that far. A hike this long can easily take 5-6 hours.
Once you start at the trailhead proper, you'll be walking along a creek with peek-a-boo views. It freezes over in spots too and is quite beautiful.
There are a few privately-owned cabins, such as the semi-famous little red one below, that make for good photo opportunities.
The section down to the falls can get scary icy so, although some people walk this trail in winter in regular shoes, trail crampons/spikes or snowshoes are highly recommended to keep you from slipping and falling down the small cliff to the river.
I'm not trying to scare you – it's way worth it – I'm just saying be prepared.
There are actually two ways to get to the falls. This is the most common.
From Seattle, head east on I-90 to exit 47 Denny Creek/Tinkham Road. At the top of the exit ramp, turn left and cross over the freeway. Go 0.2 miles and turn right at the stop sign onto Forest Road 58.
You can park anywhere between here and the end of this road as long as it's not signed no parking nearby.
Hike up Denny Creek road until you see a bathroom on the left. Turn left here and you'll find trailhead for the falls beside a billboard on the right.
No pass is needed to park along Forest Road 58.
Lake Wenatchee is a gorgeous glacier-fed lake located just to the east of the Cascade mountain range. It's waters are blue and it's surrounded by mountains.
There are flagged trails in both the North and South Part of Lake Wenatchee State Park.
These trails take scenic loops thru the park, along the Wenatchee River and along the lakeshore.
It can be a little windy at the lake but it's pretty amazing when the sky is blue and the water is glassy. If it's a little stormier, it can still be beautiful and you'll be mostly protected from the wind when you're walking through the trees.
The trails start adjacent to the parking areas.
In the North part of the park, there are two loop options that are about 2 miles long each. The map does caution that these loops may not be complete – at least not on snowshoes – in early or late season when snow cover is low.
The South area loop is about 1.8 miles long.
Both loops are relatively flat but I know at least the south one has some really short, really steep hills that are sure to get your blood pumping.
The South Park trail is marked with interpretive signs that have animal tracks and a riddle prompting you to guess the northwest wildlife that matches the animal tracks shown. That makes this loop pretty great for kids but my hubby and I really liked guessing and getting to the next sign to find out.
Click here for a map of both the north and south loops.
Lake Wenatchee is about 30 minutes from Leavenworth so you can make an overnight or weekend adventure out of it by combining it with the trail below.
From Seattle: Head north on Interstate 5 to Exit 194 for US 2 east/Snohomish/Wenatchee. Drive across the trestle and stay right to Monroe. Keep driving east through Gold Bar, Skykomish, and over Stevens Pass. From the pass, drive 24 miles and turn left onto State Route 207 at Coles Corner.
To access the south part of the park: Drive 4 miles to Cedar Brae Road. Turn left and follow to park entrance. Parking is located next to the main beach area.
To access the north part of the park: Drive 5 miles on State Route 207, veer left after crossing the bridge over the Wenatchee River, then take a left towards the park entrance right after.
A pass is required for parking. See below for details.
This trail is the shortest of the bunch listed (if you do more than 1 loop at Lake Wenatchee). Honestly, it's probably the least impressive too.
However, it still makes my list because it's one of the best dog friendly snowshoeing trails in Washington for beginners and it's one of the few dog friendly snowshoe trails near Leavenworth.
This just-short-of-2-miles trail follows the Wenatchee River and crosses Blackbird Island, one of the City of Leavenworth's best kept secrets.
From the trail, enjoy views of cascading waters and the surrounding mountains. If you are lucky, you might even see some wildlife.
If you are only going to Leavenworth (not also Lake Wenatchee above first): From Seattle, head East on I-90 to Snoqualmie Pass. From there, continue east to Exit 85. Turn left, cross over the freeway and head east towards WA10/970. Follow to 97N over Blewett Pass and head west (left) where you meet up with HWY 2. You'll reach Leavenworth in about 5 miles.
If you are stopping at Lake Wenatchee first: Use the directions above. To get to Leavenworth from there, head back the way you came to Cole;s Corner. Turn left (east). In about 20 minutes, or 15 miles, you will enter the town of Leavenworth.
Once in Leavenworth, turn right on 9th street and follow it for 2 blocks to Commercial Street. Turn right and continue for a couple of blocks to Division Street. Turn right and follow it to the end, parking at the Barn Beach Reserve. Alternately, you can stay on 9th street to Main street, turn right, and follow it a short distance to the parking lot at the end of the road.
No pass is needed for parking.
Both of these snowshoe trails are near the town of Leavenworth, WA – one of the states premier tourist destinations.
If you have the time, I highly suggest making it an overnight or weekend trip so you can do both of these trails enjoy Leavenworth in winter. It's especially pretty in the winter evenings when the town is lit up with Christmas lights.
In January, Leavenworth hosts Bavarian Icefest where you can see some pretty cool ice sculptures.
There are several dog-friendly hotels in town like the Obertal Inn, Icicle Village Resort, and the Sleeping Lady Resort. There is also winter camping at Lake Wenatchee State Park* and the Leavenworth/Pine Village KOA.
Dog-friendly restaurants in town include the Fresh Burger Café (if their deck is open open), Uncle Uli's Pub, the Munchen Haus, or the Leavenworth Pizza Company (if their deck is open).
After dinner you can take your dog and grab a beer at the Icicle Brewing Company or enjoy a glass of wine at the Goose Ridge Estate tasting room.
*note: During winter months, both Wenatchee State Park campgrounds are closed. However, during this time camping is available in a designated area of the south park day-use area. This area has picnic tables, fire pits and two covered day-use shelters. Heated restrooms and hot showers are located nearby. Utility hook-ups are not available during the winter months.
When you are sharing the trails with XC skiiers, please stay off to the side as to not mess up the groomed tracks. That includes your dog so keep them on a leash or immediately by your side under strict voice control. Walking over the tracks digs up the surface and can make it difficult for the skiiers and even dangerous.
If your dog is on a leash, and you use a felxi-lead, make sure to keep it shortened to avoid any accidents. Skiiers can come up quickly behind you. They may not see the leash and you might not notice them in time to retract it.
Many winter parking areas in Washington State require some kind of parking permit. The main ones you'll need for these hikes include the Sno-Park Permit, extra grooming sticker for that permit, and/or State Park Discover Pass.
You'll only need 1 or 2 for each area but deciding which ones can be confusing. To make it easy, here is what permit(s) you need for the trails I listed.
Get out there with your dog and have fun!

Q: Make Python script wait for button click ipywidgets I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find anything on here (except this one which hasn't been answered: link and one that doesn't quite answer the question i'm asking link
I'm creating a button with ipywidgets, but the script doesn't wait for the button to be clicked. Here's a sample of the code/what I'm trying to achieve:
button = widgets.Button(description = "Click")
output = widgets.Output()
display(button, output)

def on_button_clicked(b):
     with output:
     print("button clicked")

button.on_click(on_button_clicked)
print("Python is ignoring you")

If I run this, I'll just get "Python is ignoring you" before I click the button. I want it to display the button, wait for the person to click it, and only then execute the rest ("Python is ignoring you").
Does anyone have an idea of how I can make python wait for the button to be clicked?
Would appreciate any help! Thanks

A: I never used the ipywidgets, but the problem is on the last line
you're telling python to print "Python is ignoring you" and python is doing it.
It will not wait for the user to click the button,
because the print statement is out the function "on_button_clicked".(or any)
So just Put it in the function. (That print Statement)

Softball falls in back-to-back slate against Syracuse, Albany
Binghamton outscored 19-2 over two games
By Lance Kim - April 25, 2019
Isaiah King-Cruz/Contributing Photographer Freshman infielder Marissa Braito recorded an RBI in the top of the third inning in a 5-2 loss against University at Albany.
After being dominated by Syracuse on Tuesday afternoon, suffering a 14-0 defeat at home, the Binghamton softball team fell again on Wednesday against America East (AE) rival Albany. The Orange (20-25, 8-10 Atlantic Coast Conference) were able to capitalize on costly errors by the Bearcats (15-26, 4-11 AE) to establish an early lead, while the second-place Great Danes (22-11, 10-1 AE) rode a third-inning rally to power past the Bearcats.
"We just remind them when they've played well and the things that have happened when we're able to play together," said BU head coach Michelle Johnston. "It seems like in the games where we haven't played well it's one big inning. We always have that inning where it's either a walk or a mistake. Early on this season, it really felt like they went out and were playing for each other and trusting each other. We gotta get back to that — this is the time they gotta find that and be able to work for each other and pick each other up after a mistake."
Against the Orange, junior pitcher Rozlyn Price (3-7) pitched into the third frame, giving up two earned runs. Syracuse sophomore pitcher Miranda Hearn (2-6) threw a complete-game, five-inning shutout.
Syracuse began the first inning with a single by sophomore second baseman Gabby Teran, but a throwing error to second base allowed Teran to take three bases. The following hitter for Syracuse, senior utility player Alicia Hansen, lined a triple to center, which brought the Orange an early run. A sacrifice fly doubled the lead to 2-0 before the Bearcats got a chance to respond.
Errors continued to damage Binghamton, as a misplayed sacrifice bunt put runners on the corners at the top of the third. Senior pitcher Makenzie Goluba surrendered back-to-back home runs in relief. Syracuse sophomore infielder Neli Casares-Maher hit her first of two three-run home runs, plating three unearned runs. Another solo homer gave Syracuse a 7-0 advantage by the midpoint of the third inning, and an error in the fourth allowed Syracuse to put the game out of reach as the Orange drove home another five runs, including Casares-Maher's second three-run home run. The game ended early because of the mercy rule, with Syracuse winning 14-0.
Binghamton's next contest was against the Albany Great Danes on Wednesday. The Great Danes defeated the Bearcats, 5-2, led by senior pitcher Celeste Verdolivo. Verdolivo (15-3) tossed seven innings, surrendering two runs and bringing Albany within 1.5 games of conference leader UMass Lowell. Despite RBIs from junior catcher Sara Herskowitz and freshman infielder Marissa Braito, the Bearcats were unable to emerge victorious.
Although the team lost to Syracuse, nonconference games have no effect on the seeding for the AE Tournament in just a couple of weeks. After falling in a closer game to Albany, Johnston seems to think her team can return to form before the playoffs with only three games remaining.
"I think we're just trying to get back to playing loose," Johnston said. "I think, for whatever reason, they've been putting a lot of pressure on themselves both individually and as a team. They need to play loose and not put the extra pressure on themselves. We want to come together and play better offensively, defensively and on the mound. We gotta put it together and play our best game. I think we'll be fine — we just gotta get back to playing the way we're capable."
The team finishes out the season with a three-game series against Maine over the weekend. The Black Bears (10-25, 2-9 AE) pose a threat to the Bearcats, as Maine is fighting for a playoff spot with six games to play — three more games than Binghamton. In the conference, the seventh seed does not make the postseason.
"It's gonna come down to the series with Maine," Johnston said. "Nothing will be locked in unless we win. We're more than capable to compete with anyone in our conference. We gotta make sure we play our best."
The Bearcats begin their pivotal final series of the season against Maine on Saturday, April 27. First pitch of game one is set for 1 p.m. from the Bearcats Sports Complex in Vestal, New York.

Mental Health in Liberia

The mental health project in Liberia is "small-small," as they say around here—starting to stand on its own legs. Progress has been slow and steady and, daily, we see the seeds of months of diligent groundwork bearing fruit.
Our presence is in four primary health centers, two of them urban and two of them rural. Our mission is clear: to assist and support Ministry of Health mental health clinicians, ever-mindful of avoiding dependency on MSF to the extent possible. Sustainability, long after MSF presence is just a memory, is the goal.
Prior to MSF's arrival, outpatient options for mental health treatment were negligible, especially due to absence of medications. Since the doors opened in September, more than 1,000 patients have sought help, about half for psychiatric problems and half for seizure disorders which, at this point, still fall within the bailiwick of mental health.
Front line treatment is provided by Ministry of Health mental health clinicians. They receive support from MSF mental health clinicians, of whom there are two, each assigned to two of the clinics. There is one expatriate psychiatrist on the team, always available for telephone consultation.
The psychiatrist makes in-person visits one day per week to each of the clinics, sitting in on consultations, offering gentle support and guidance, and providing weekly trainings in conceptualization of cases, diagnosis, and treatment. In addition to the work within the clinics there is a small army of general community health volunteers who are assisted by MSF psychosocial workers. They are out in the communities daily, raising awareness of what constitutes mental illness, encouraging reduction in stigma, and making prospective patients, their loved ones, and community leaders aware of the services that are now available. Most referrals to the clinics are through these tireless efforts.
It's an elegant structure that holds great promise and this is only the beginning. Our database is just about up and running. It will provide statistical evidence for what we already know: this project is providing invaluable services where little to nothing was available before to a population that has been, historically, stigmatized and neglected. We are full of pride for what has been achieved, and we move forward with optimism and a sense of purpose.

Manchester United confirm Cristiano Ronaldo RETURNS in sensational summer deal
August 27, 2021 Dianne Reeves Online news
Cristiano Ronaldo has made a sensational return to Manchester United, the club confirmed on Friday evening.
Ronaldo was pictured touching down in Lisbon where he will soon be undertaking a medical to seal a sensational return to his former club Manchester United.
With a surge of fans and photographers eager to get a glimpse of Ronaldo at the airport, the Portuguese superstar had given a cryptic clue while getting into a car and told broadcasters TVI24 when asked of his next club: 'You'll know in one hour.'
Not long after, United informed supporters via social media and their official website that a deal had been agreed and Ronaldo would be returning to the club ahead of transfer deadline day.
Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes was in talks with United's bitter rivals City after the Portugal star decided to leave Juventus, but it emerged on Friday afternoon that Pep Guardiola's side were set to pull out of the race to sign him.
The 36-year-old will now have a medical in Lisbon as talks continue. Reports suggest United will pay Juve the fee they wanted from City, which equates to £19.4m, with a two-year contract on the table for Ronaldo of around £480,000 per week.
According the Manchester Evening News, United offered Ronaldo a contract on Friday morning following a late intervention from former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who spoke to Ronaldo about the plans regarding his future.
Cristiano Ronaldo has touched down in Lisbon to undertake a medical ahead of a sensational late summer transfer back to Manchester United and the Premier League
The 36-year-old is set to sign a two year deal which will bring him back to Old Trafford
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opened up on Manchester United's effort to sign Cristiano Ronaldo at his press conference on Friday afternoon
Solskjaer said Bruno Fernandes has been talking to Ronaldo, his Portugal team-mate, about his future and that he would always be welcome back at Old Trafford
And Ronaldo is now on the cusp of sealing a dramatic return to United on a two-year deal
United then publicly signalled their interest in the Old Trafford legend when Solskjaer, at his Friday press conference, made it clear that he would welcome the 36-year-old five-time Ballon d'Or winner back.
'Ronaldo is a legend of the club, and the greatest player of all time, if you ask me,' said the United boss. 'I didn't think he'd leave Juventus. We've always had a good communication and I know Bruno (Fernandes) has been talking to him.
'He knows what we feel about him. If he was ever going to move away from Juventus, he knows we're here.
'When you are Messi, Ronaldo, Pogba or Bruno, you have to read a lot about yourself. Let's see what happens with Cristiano, because he is a legend of this club.
'I don't want to speculate too much on Cristiano. We focus on the ones we have here. I've said many times, when you're Man United or (Lionel) Messi, Ronaldo you read a lot about yourself.
'I was fortunate to play with him and coach him. Everyone who has played with him has a soft spot for him.'
Asked if he wanted another new player after signing Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane this summer, Solskjaer added: 'Any manager is always looking for a little bit more.
'I have to say the transfer business we've done this summer, I'm happy with the numbers, quality and personalities we've brought in. They fit each other really well. You're never comfortable as a manager, but the chemistry is there and I'm very happy with what we've done.'
Ronaldo and Solskjaer were team-mates at United during the Portugal star's time at the club

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri confirmed earlier on Friday that Ronaldo has played his last game for the Italian giants and at that point, it seemed that the Portugal star was destined to sign for Pep Guardiola's City side.
Allegri said: 'Yesterday, Ronaldo told me that he no longer has any intention to play for Juventus.
'He is not available for tomorrow's match against Empoli. He's going to look for a new club after three years here.'
Ronaldo bid his team-mates farewell in a 40-minute meeting with his Juventus team-mates on Friday morning and his move to City looked to be becoming a formality.
But Solskjaer, who played alongside Ronaldo at United, made a dramatic intervention amid outcry from United's fanbase at the thought of one of their finest ever players joining their fierce rivals.
City manager Guardiola was coy over the prospect of signing Ronaldo at his own press conference on Friday afternoon, shortly before it emerged the club had withdrawn from the race to sign him.
Pep Guardiola said Ronaldo will decide his future soon amid the City and United interest
Massimiliano Allegri confirmed that Ronaldo has played his last game for Juventus
'In the three or four days anything can happen,' he said. 'There are few players, Ronaldo included who decide where they are going to play. There are many things that are far away.
'We have had the chance to enjoy the best two players in world football (Ronaldo and Messi) – all we can say is thank you.
'The Portuguese and Argentinian guys – what they have done, honestly, we will not watch something similar in the future.
'I am incredibly happy with the squad I have. More than satisfied. We are the same guys except Sergio left and Jack arrived. I focus on what we have to do and the players we have right now.'
Ronaldo arrived at the Juventus training ground at 9:20am on Friday morning
Wayne Rooney does not believe Ronaldo will risk his legacy at United by joining Man City
Derby manager Wayne Rooney, another of Ronaldo's United team-mates, dismissed the prospect of Ronaldo turning out for the blue half of Manchester.
Rooney said: 'I don't know what to make of it, to be honest. 'If you're asking me if I think it's possible then I have major doubts that it is a possibility.
'Cristiano has got a great legacy at United. I don't think he's going to move somewhere for financial reasons.'
In a separate interview with talkSPORT, Rooney said: 'I think Cristiano has got a very good legacy at Manchester United and I know how proud he is as a player and a person. I can't see it, but it's football so you never know.'

If you've joined Yeners Way recently, you may have noticed that there are a few settings you can set up on your profile. For example, your own avatar, a cover image, a blurb about yourself, etc. There is also a tab under your profile where you can set your 'Display Options'. These are some elements that you can show and hide in relation to your account on Yeners Way. There is just a small issue I wanted to bring your attention to regarding these display options.
Although we have been building it for a while now, Yeners Way is still brand new at the time of writing this. We are constantly working on it, improving and making changes to it daily. One small issue that we have encountered is where users are uploading their avatars or cover images and they are not being updated properly on their profiles.
This problem is related to the 'Display Options' page. To fix this, just head over to your 'Display Options' page and simply click the 'Save Changes' button. This will put all your settings into effect and it only needs to be done once, so after the first time you do this, all your display options will work as they should. Yes, this is supposed to work by default, but it's a technical issue we are looking at and we hope to resolve it in the near future.
So to summarise, after you have logged in to your account, go to your 'Display Options' page under your profile and click the 'Save Changes' button to make everything take effect and work properly. Once you have done that, all your display options will work as they should.
